Quarter Two: Quote #4


The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.

  1. i think this quote is saying, that even if you dont have anything, and life is just down you still think happy and set aside everything going on and just be happy with friends and family around the table for Thanksgiving, and even if things arent the way you would like them you can still have things to be thankful about.

  2. if the people that had it worse than most of us do today can set aside a day to just be thankful then those of us that have something to be thankful for should be able to at least recognize what we have. or maybe even give some one else some thing to be thankful for.

  3. I believe this quote is saying that there are more people out there than just you that have it bad, and yes, even worse. You should be thankful for what you do have. As did the pilgrims. Although they had so many deaths, they still had enough heart to give thanks.

  6. I think that it is pretty bad that people who had it a lot worse than us now could set aside a day to find things to be thankful for when we can't even do that. We have it so good that we don't even realize what we have because we are so used to luxuries and not just living life to live.

  7. I think that its sad that, that backt then people had it ahole lot less then we do and they still could manage to set aside any and everything to give thanks for what they have. People dont realize what they have...when others have it alot worse.

  8. If you don't have anything in life you shouldn't worry about it just be happy so your not always worring about eveything. You should just be thinkful for what you do have and the people that you have in your life.

  10. Take advantage of Thanksgiving as a time to be thankful for what we are lucky to have. There are so many kids and adults in other countries that don't have half the things we have! (:
